This is a fun but challenging 100 miler. You receive a map and turn by turn directions for each section. You get one at the start and at each aid station. This keeps you alert so you don't get off course or lost. It's self sufficient. The checkpoints will have water coolers but that's it. So unless you have a crew to follow you and help you, you will have to bring your supplies or money to purchase them along the way. You can have drop bags at the checkpoints which helps as well. The course is different every year to keep it fresh. You will get to see all the fun spots Miami has to offer. The custom made belt buckles are always awesome! I highly recommend this race. Be prepared to be brutally hot and poured on at least once!
